JFS on solaris?

I have heard that adding the option "logging" when mounting filesystems
will enable a JFS and hence you will no longer need to fsck if the machine
goes down hard. i.e.,

/dev/md/dsk/d0 /dev/md/rdsk/d0 / ufs 1 no logging

A filesystem with "logging" enabled does have approximately 1k for every
meg less, as is explained in the man page. (the space is used by the log).

When I phoned Sun to find out what the best way to verify that this is
working properly, and to perhaps watch the log file, I was informed that
this option can only be done in automounted filesystems...!?

So my question is, is anyone using this for regular system mounts in the
/etc/vfstab file? Is Sun crazy, or am I?

Thanks, and of course I will summarize.
